Here is the rifle I picked up two seasons ago. It has a maple stock. I couldn't see the sights properly so I have not shot it much. I just got a little peep sight you attach to your glasses so maybe I will see how it compares to the TC Hawken. Defineltly a different design!
Anyone know who makes their locks and are their flinters any good? I did see a flint @ Gander Mountain. I will ask to take a pic so some of you folks can see and compare.

Thanks, SHills

Just guessing mind you, but i would think it was made by Interarms - Italy... but I really could be wrong because their stuff was coming from Spain - so that put it back maybe toArdessa or Bergara..

Probably Ardessa




Your barrel will be different as per A&H contract - but this bolter and lock look simular????

Sabotloader,
Here is a side view!

I have shot a few BP rifles but don't know much about the locks wether it be be cap or flint.

It really looks somewhat like my Lyman Trade rifle which is Italian, but I really do think that is where A&H was contracting from.

The hammer is the key it is unique in design...

There is a possibilty it is an American L&R but I would be surprised. Does it use a coil spring of a leaf spring to drive the hammer?

I am not sure where their locks come from but my Tradition's and CVA traditional rifles have that same round bolster that is bolted into the barrel. Do not remove the bolster clean out screw. They only seem to get deformed and do not come out well. Also the thing I dislike about the round bolster is BE CAREFUL putting that nipple back in. For some reason it seems real easy to cross thread. Turn that nipple in real slow and back off if it balks.

CVA has a new replacement bolster screw that is much better - you use a nipple wrench to get it out. Works great... wouldn't ya know now I can't find a picture of em. If I find one I'll send it along....
